[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Tomcat deployment with external datasource - is it possible?

I'm currently trying to adopt the Seam JPA example to our Tomcat deployment guidelines, and I'm facing a problem here... The example uses a DataSource that is supplied by the Microcontainer, in jboss-beans.xml: <bean name="bookingDatasourceFactory" | class="org.jboss.seam.microcontainer.DataSourceFactory"> | <property name="driverClass">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property> | <property name="connectionUrl">jdbc:hsqldb:.</property> | <property name="userName">sa</property> | <property name="jndiName">java:/DefaultDS</property> | <property name="minSize">0</property> | <property name="maxSize">10</property> | <property name="blockingTimeout">1000</property> | <property name="idleTimeout">100000</property> | <property name="transactionManager"> | <inject bean="TransactionManager" /> | </property> | </bean> | <bean name="bookingDatasource" class="java.lang.Object"> | <constructor factoryMethod="getDataSource"> | <factory bean="bookingDatasourceFactory" /> | </constructor> | </bean> | My question is: is it possible to somehow use the DataSource that is configured in Tomcat, as in <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | <Context> | <Resource name="jdbc/DataSource" auth="Container" | type="javax.sql.DataSource" maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000" username="username" password="password" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" url="jdbc url" /> | </Context> | The idea is to be able to create data sources outside the deployed WAR, so that the same WAR could be deployed to different environments without any changes - this is a common requirement for production-level Tomcat applications. When I try to remove the data source definition from jboss-beans.xml, it gives me the "name not bound" exception (naturally), and I suspect that it only uses the Microcontainer's JNDI, ignoring the Tomcat-supplied one. Is such setup supported at all? Is there any way to configure the data source outside the WAR, while using Seam/Microcontainer/JPA stack?
